He added that die new EMS regulations were approved by the North Carolina Medical Commis sion. They include new standards for ambulances and mobile intensive care units, new equipment and medical supply requirements; new drug supply standards; and addi tional radio and communications requirements. The regulations will become effective September 1,1968. “The commission is to be com I ' mended for its commitment to ensuring that North Carolinians receive the very best emergency medical care possible,” Kirk emphasised. “The new regulations are designed to provide our citizens with state-of-the-art qauality in advanced life support treatment. This is especially important for victims of heart attacks or auto mobile accidents and can mean the difference between life and death.” Bob Bailey, Chief of Emergency Medical Services for DHR’s Divi sion of Facility Services, explained that there are three levels of ad vanced life support prehospital care available in North Carolina. Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) • intermediates are certi fied to administer fluids and use advanced techniques for keeping an airway open for breathing. EMT - intermediate require approximately 40 hours o( training. EMT-advanced intermediates receive 80 additional hours of training. In addition to the skills 0f the EMT-intermediate, they can also use a defibrillator to administer electric shock to the heart of a cardiac arrest victim, give essential heart medication, and insert a tube into a patient’s airway to assist him or her in breathing. He pointed out that EMT-paramedics have all the skills of the other two levels, as well as several other advanced skills. This training gives them the authority to administer additional medications and to effectively deal with trauma and medical emergencies. EMT-paramedics must complete at least 400 hours of training to become certified The advanced life support system now includes 57 North Carolina counties, and covers 83 percent of the state’s population. “The new standards mean that North Carolina will continue to be a national leader in emergency medical care,” Bailey stressed. "The improvements in advanced life support will result in better and faster treatment at the scene of accidents and other life-threatening -mergeocies Our dedicated EMTs and paramedics will be better trained and equipped to help people.” v He also noted that the regula tions adopted by the Commission will greatly improve transportation and communications during times of medical crisis. The standards will now require that all ambulances used in advanced life support programs carry equipment and medical supplies needed to match the skill level of the technicians. In addition, all vehicles must be inspected each year by the Office of Emergency Medical Services to verify that all required equipment is in place and operating properly Choice Western Beef M Boneless ^ ^ 1 Chuck Roast A tt> - Peseta* Fryer Leg Quarters ^ Grade "A" LbD%7 Land O’ Frost Sandwich Meats Assorted ^^k A Varieties ' , zso».
